Updates - February 2017 - Last few weeks of workouts are posted leading to the CRASH-Bs. The week before the race keep the volume low and intensity high. Just enough to keep you sharp and avoid the urge to do more work. That is what a taper is for. Nutrition/Hydration/Sleep will play in big part into having peak performance on race day. Good Luck!

Coaching Tip - Here are a series of photos showing the elbow position during the stroke phase from mid-drive, finish, release and mid-recovery. Take note of the elbow height during each phase...it has not changed. During the mid-drive, I like to think of the elbows on top of a table and that height is held through the finish. The elbows can't drop below the table. The elbows then move out from the body and the forearms stay parallel to the water. Think of drawing with the elbows as if you were opening a bag or "chips". When you to this the chest is wide and the shoulders are down and relaxed...a strong position. Then notice at the release, the wrist feathers the blade and there is a slight pushdown with the forearm to get the height off the water. Think of hinging from the elbow. The elbow is at the edge of the tabe so the height stays the same. Look this over and let us know if you have any quesitons.
